Console Terminal Customisation with ZSH + Starship (plugins & themes)

In this video we walk through my awesome terminal shell setup with zsh and starship and tabby.
I showcase all style settings, fonts, plugin functionalities and what tools I use.
To customize my prompt I use the tool Starship. (There are different other possibilities like powerlevel10k and others)
I don't use a plugin manager like 'oh my zsh' as it does clutter my settings in my opinion, so I source each plugin and theme setting thoughtfully.
Follow me along on my full tutorial and walkthrough!
Plugins I use:
zsh-z: github.com/agkozak/zsh-z
fzf (fuzzy finer): github.com/junegunn/fzf
goto: github.com/iridakos/goto
zsh-abbr: github.com/olets/zsh-abbr

zsh-z: github.com/agkozak/zsh-z

Thanks Marco, for the very good explanation. Tabby I did not know yet and I will have a look. One question, which you may be able to answer: Do you use your setup in different environments? For example, I have a Windows PC, MacBook and several Linus servers (Docker) and it would be great to have the same stettings everywhere. So the question is, what is the most useful way to share this?

[@techwithmarco]

No, unfortunately not. I used to have different working machines with a linux and a macbook, but I did not sync my shell settings. (Just did it manually) I think that this is still possible but with some scripting to be done. If you have a look at my previous video where I talk about dotfiles, I use a dotfile manager which is called 'yadm' and yadm offers to possibility to have a OS specific setup for your dotfiles (yadm.io/docs/alternates#) Another thing to note, I guess you are still able to use zsh in a windows machine with the git bash for example. Just google 'windows git bash zsh'. Then you could use your macos or linux dotfiles shell setup. I don't know if there are possibilities to use them with the windows powershell. And another very interesting tool which I just found out about when I made some research for your comment is 'xhh'. It offers some functionalities to install the exact shell environment on remote ssh servers or even docker containers. I think I'll have a look at that one and see if it's worth it to make a video about that tool. Let me know if you succeeded :-)

@@techwithmarco btw, what IDE / text editor that you use on the right side of the screen? thanks before...

[@techwithmarco]

@@arsitech Sorry, just did not see your comment haha... It is Intellij by Jetbrains :)

[@alitokii]

Hi Marco, thanks for this video, definitely going to try out starship! Also, I was wondering what text editor/IDE you're using to view your .zshrc? Thank you!

[@general_wcj9438]

To me it looks like a jet brains product

[@techwithmarco]

This is Jetbrains IntelliJ with the theme 'dark' Have fun checking out starship :)

[@Ankush.8]

Just wondering... Are you using Oh-my-zsh or any other plugin manager?

[@tudorliviu6405]

those can work with iterm2 and zsh ?

[@techwithmarco]

Yes, also works with iterm2 and zsh

[@tudorliviu6405]

Then I need to struggle more since it’s not looking like in the video 🤯

[@techwithmarco]

Did you change some color profiles in iterm2 to match my settings?
